\ WINDMILL ATTACHMENT.

. To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELMER E. Goonwnv, a citizen of the United States,residing at Cle Elum, in the county of Kittitas and State of Washin ton,have invented certain new and useful mprovements in WindmillAttachments, of which thefollowing is a specification, reference beinghadtherein to the accomoanying drawings.

This invention relates to single acting re:

' rocating devices for operating the pumps CIEJ w ch are actuated bywind mil s; and particularly to mechanism for transmitting the With hisend in view, the invention con' sists in the novel construction, adatation and combination of devices as will be ereinafter described andclaimed.

In said drawings, Fi e 1 is an elevation of a portion of a win -rnilltower showing portions of the wind-mill power transmission evices tomake my invention clearly understood, and anembodimcnt of'my invention,partly in section. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the invention shown 1n adifferent POSitIOD.

. According to my invention, "I ,ba -l1ke controller-head 5, herei a terdesig nated as the head, which is, under ordias in a'centrally disposedcavity 5'. and'hel with screw bolts 5",, or otherwise.- Adpcent'of theextremities cf the head are 5Q fi "whereinto areengaged the lowerPatented Feb, 1 1, 1 cos,

ends of extensible springs '7 having their other ends engaged in hooks 8which are adjustably secured in the platform 5; of the tower. Suchadjustment of the hooks are desirably had by providing screw threads uon the shanks 8 of the hooks to register with the threads of butterflynuts 8 seated upon washers 8" upon the top oi said platform.

"Adjustably secured to the rod F so as to engage, during the downstroke, with the head, is a set collar 9, and by means of which the headis carried against the ,0 posing force of the springs while the power tus absorbed is asserted, supplementary to the 70 power exerted by thewind mill, to accomplish the return upward stroke of the rod togetherwith its load. To facilitate the aforesaid actions in a more even mannerI provide devices to interrupt the movement of the head a short distancebefore the rod reaches the end of its upward travel, that is to say,when the speed thereof is being rev tarded by traverse movement of thecrank" pin prior to the latters passing. its neutral. axis or deadcenter, and thence --be disengaged until the momentum of the drivingwhereby they are readily turned for regular;
